Flic to trigger Alexa Routine
Flic to trigger Alexa Routine
Pressing a flic to trigger an alexa routine. Now the ability to launch a routine is available via Amazon's API. It would be great to get a flic to trigger a routine rather than going through a 3rd party service (as far as I am aware IFTTT haven't implemented the new routine feature yet).

This should absolutely be priority #1
I am currently using Virtual Buttons (https://www.amazon.com/Thomptronics-Virtual-Buttons/dp/B08259XK1Z) as a workaround, but direct integration would be infinitely better. Please don't say it's impossible, as there are others who have proved it can be done and have put out working products to do so.

Soooo... I have worked out a hack to get this working... Using the script from here https://github.com/thorsten-gehrig/alexa-remote-control (I am running a linux VM with apache) It's not a very user friendly hack but it works. I have my flics doing a custom url put and it works great!

I have a various selection of devices, all linked into Alexa. Most don't work through IFTTT, so this would be a huge advantage.
